Personal Demons {Yours and Mine}

I would like to apologize for this harsh review, because it really is not the fault of the writer as a whole. Her book is just another notch on my annoyance towards Angel/Demon young adult fiction as a whole. If I had not read Once Dead, Twice Shy and that abysmal book Fallen, I might not find this book so repulsive. For a debut novel is not bad ( Read more... )

Wow harsh! But so entertaining XD

luc? Gabe? Wow the author really went original with the names and creating some new charecters .. Found myself rolling my eyes when u mentioned their names and what they stand for seeing that I haven't read the book myself.

And I think u've covered everything that I feel about a bad boy charecter gone ... Bad

I will definatly not read this, thanks for the heads up ^^

My co-blogger fangirled this book (although the author is awesome and they talk on twitter, so maybe that influenced how she read the book) I own it but haven't read it yet, I won't set my expectations too high now though. =P

The names in the book already irritate me though... even Frannie's name is just, eugh. (I'm weird about names - I get so fussy when I'm naming my own characters too.)

I met this author in person, I thought she was kind of stuck up. I got her book for two bucks at the library lol!

Thank you so much for writing this review! I was hesitant to buy it because angels are in it and I have a bad track record with angel books (four out of the five worst books I have ever read involve angels/fallen angels, including your "friend" Fallen). Bland angels and pathetic demons? Count me out. And the premise was so interesting too... Such a waste!

Really, why can't demons be evil anymore? I like it when demons are evil; heck, I'm writing a story where demons impregnate girls with destructive half-demon spawn and destroy an entire town and almost everyone that lives there! I hope demons aren't going to be what follows the vampire and angel/fallen angel trends.
